Anduril Industries Senior Electrical Systems Engineer leads the electrical architecture for AI Factory tactical data centers and deployable command and control centers. They translate high-level CONOPS into detailed electrical requirements and design modular, air-transportable systems optimized for austere environments.

Responsibilities

Own the end-to-end architecture of AI Factory tactical data centers and deployable command and control centers
Conduct architectural trades, balancing performance, manufacturing feasibility, and future scalability.
Bridge the gap between traditional Systems Engineering and Electrical Engineering by translating high-level CONOPS into detailed electrical requirements, architectures and functional modules.
Design air-transportable, modular systems (containerized, palletized, vehicle-mounted) that are rapidly deployable and operationally credible
Build infrastructure optimized for austere and contested environments—extreme temperatures, limited grid power, SCIF-accreditable, electromagnetic hardening
Work in tight coupling with Lattice and AI/ML teams to ensure physical infrastructure meets mission-critical software requirements
Partner with defense customers to translate operational requirements and needs into technical architectures
Lead prototyping, field testing, and operational validation through military exercises and real-world deployments
Drive systems from concept through production at scale, working across hardware, software, supply chain, and program teams
Allocate functions to specific electrical modules and subsystems, defining constraints, interfaces, and communications protocols.
Flow module and subsystem information to PCB design and harnessing teams to guide designs in line with the overarching electrical architecture.

Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance (U.S. citizenship may be required)
Must be able to travel up to 15% of the time

Preferred

Background in 3-phase power distribution, MV/LV grid scale power distribution, or EV/HV battery systems
Has been through at least three full electrical product design cycles from conception to production release
8+ years of engineering experience designing and deploying electrical products
Experience with tactical military systems, ruggedized computing, or deployable infrastructure in austere or contested environments
Knowledge of military environmental standards (MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461) and expeditionary deployability requirements
Hands-on experience with containerized or modular data center designs (ISO containers, mobile facilities)
Experience with expeditionary or forward operating base (FOB) infrastructure
Knowledge of electromagnetic hardening and operation in GPS-denied or communications-contested environments
